Leigh Castergine, who held the title of Senior Vice President for Ticket Sales and Service, claimed in the suit, which was filed in federal court on Wednesday, that Wilpon frequently harassed her for becoming pregnant. In one meeting, the suit alleges, Wilpon, the son of principal owner Fred Wilpon, "told Castergine that she should tell her boyfriend that when she gets a ring, she will make more money and get a bigger bonus."

quote:

According to the suit, Wilpon informed Castergine of his intention to fire her on Aug. 20 for failing to meet her sales goals. Wilpon also allegedly told Castergine that since giving birth, "something had changed" and that she "wasn't aggressive as she once had been."

Well, what if her performance really was shitty but he just said something coincidentally non-PC?

Oh well, doesn't matter, jackpot!

If the things she accuses him of are true, you're right: JACKPOT

Those things aren't non-PC. They're flat out discriminatory.

The MLB should not stand for this kind of sexism and should force the Wilpons to sell the team

Why couldn't Nutting (the Pirates owner) have done something like this, or asked his black mistress not to be seen in public with black men, or punched out his wife in an elevator?

Jeff Wilpon is known as one of the biggest douches in all of professional sports. This suit isn't surprising at all.
